If you start your visit in Poble Espagnol by taking left after the entrance, this restaurant is perfectly located for the moment when you are already exhausted after the first half of the tour and you start considering a break. It is the perfect place to take a break. Whatever you choose, a refreshing beverage, just a cofee, something to eat, or all of them, you will enjoy the atmosphere as well since the restaurant is right in front of the carmelite's church. They don't have a 10 pages menu, only few dishes but covering all kind of spanish goodies: some tapas, some paellas, some seafruits, some of them cooked, some of them grilled. Some of them with a mexican touch. They also have kids menu. And here I met the only waiter (in 7 days of holliday in Barcelona) who was not only doing his job, but he was really enjoying doing his job. Like he was happy only if he succeeded to make you happy. The ambiance in the food court at the end of the tour is also nice, but if I return I'll chose this place again instead any other place in the...
Read moreHi vam passar la nit de Cap d'Any. El lloc és pintoresc i agradable. A l'hora de servir, però, van ser excessivament lents, suposo que per manca de personal. El menjar, molt de batalla. Pels 95€ del menú, ens esperàvem una mica més de cura en la manera de cuinar o detalls en la manera de servir: els entrants, pernil i formatge, bàsics però correctes. La crema de llamàntol, servida de manera pelada però correcta. Una amanida amb salmó fumat, curiosa i que ens va entrar força bé. Els segons, salmó o cabrit, justos: el salmó ben cuit però sense gaire intríngulis i la pota de cabrit molt seca i difícil de tallar i mastegar. L'acompanyament del cabrit, unes patates enfornades, van sortir fredes. Les postres, un pastís semifred industrial, correcte. Els torrons, terribles, de molt baixa qualitat i força ressecs. El cava, també terrible. Els menús infantils duien croquetes, que eren bonetes i carn amb patates, del que no hi va haver cap queixa. En acabar el sopar, hi va haver música i tothom va ballar i gaudir força d'aquell moment. Destacar el bon rotllo d'un cambrer amb bigoti i l'amabilitat d'una cambrera morena molt servicial, llàstima que no hi hagués més personal servint i que tot sortís descompassat. Crec que, tot i que els productes que s'ofereixen en un menú siguin senzills, els detalls poden fer la diferència entre un bo i un mal àpat, com m'ha quedat palès amb...
Read moreSome tourist traps are known for high prices and poor quality food. That was not the case here. The Wife and I enjoyed our meals. Pork loin and french fries were served up hot as we took a break from wandering around El Pueblo Español in Barcelona. The place also offers some good-looking pizza. The sangria is a good choice for those visiting...
